CONS
I love the phone but, It sometimes freezes, but this happens very seldom now. I use to have problems with the texting sometimes. Somtimes when it isn't clean it work function like its suppose too. And I get frustrated when it sometimes stores you messages and you wont get them for days.

SUMMARY
Its a great phone. My advice is to work with. Sure it does have its bugs, but once you get use to it, its really to manuver around it. Also, you might want to keep it clean. If you get it, work with it and see how good it works for you. ]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-krave-zn4.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-krave-zn4&utm_campaign=PhoneDog7/28/2009 9:31:56 AMhttp://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-krave-zn4.aspx#comments?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-krave-zn4&utm_campaign=PhoneDog7/10/2009 2:23:40 AMPROSIt looks cool. large display. good bluetooth service

CONS
Freezes alot, texting is difficult when it doesnt register the right letter your typing in. and sometimes i wanna throw it against a wall

SUMMARY
i've had this phone since nov. 2008, i upgraded from my LG 3800. comparing the two the old one was better. This phone freezes every so often and the battery life isnt that great. The camera when i go to use it, sometimes says "unknown error" and i cant use it for a little while, i bought it for its original price of like 250ish and now its worth only 50 dollars and i know why]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-krave-zn4.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-krave-zn4&utm_campaign=PhoneDog6/5/2009 10:46:37 AMPROSbuilt in GPS, vcast TV, QUERTY keyboard, nice touch screen, very noticable vibrate mode, good color screen, good sound from speaker, flip cover doubles as touch screen when closed

CONS
could easily touch wrong keys in keyboard mode, Motorola belt clip scratches phone to death, belt clip forces user to holster phone backwards

SUMMARY
This phone works well for most apllications although internet can be a chore(not Motorola's fault), firmware updates really helped functionality. The number pad doesn't talk anymore when dialing, keyboard works better, phone stopped shutting off when answering calls(happened a few times). Overall a good phone, just keep it updated. ]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-krave-zn4.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-krave-zn4&utm_campaign=PhoneDog4/9/2009 7:54:02 PMPROSReally good looking. Nice new style. Good phone for voice calls.

CONS
The flip can get weary and squeaky. Texting can be difficult.

SUMMARY
This is a very nice phone, however,the cons that i have shown will keep me from ever recommeding this phone to anyone. Sorry, Motorola!]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-krave-zn4.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-krave-zn4&utm_campaign=PhoneDog3/20/2009 3:23:21 PMhttp://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-krave-zn4.aspx#comments?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-krave-zn4&utm_campaign=PhoneDog3/20/2009 3:15:22 PMPROS

bugs aplenty

SUMMARY
ive had this phone for a month or so and im on my second one, i love almost everything about it except that the damn thing has random errors and the voice button turns it off every now and then. i love to love it but there are notable problems. thankfully verizon was very gracious as far as quickly replacing my defective device. i love the phone and wouldnt choose a different one. as long as verizon gives me new ones when the one iv got fails, im happy as a clam with this model]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-krave-zn4.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-krave-zn4&utm_campaign=PhoneDog12/7/2008 6:21:43 PMPros: V CAST, crisp widescreen, 3G, VZ Navigator, visual voice mail, neat touch-flip form factor.
Cons: touch screen and flip are unpredictable at best, it feels strange against the cheek.

The Motorola Krave ZN4 is the first of it's kind in the US; it's got a 2.8" touch screen with a clear flip that is also touch-sensitive. Users across the pond have seen this idea expressed in the Ming, and the touch-flip novelty is a key selling point for this beautifully-designed device in The States.

The Krave is great with V CAST media, although you can't play music in the background. The widescreen is sharp and the audio quality is does not disappoint. Call quality is also good. 2 MP pictures look decent, and the video capture works fine.

Unfortunately, I found both the screen and the flip difficult to achieve touch accuracy with. This really kills a lot of the phone's potential. It's nearly impossible to scroll without selecting something. The landscape QWERTY that I look for in every phone is nicely implemented, but the less-than-stellar touchscreen left me frustrated. And, as Noah pointed out, the flip gets in the way when typing.

My wife has an unhealthy obsession with Bejeweled. She could hardly contain herself when she found out I was holding a phone with her long-lost game installed. She played for about 3 minutes before giving up, thanks to unpredictable touch response. Without me saying anything to her about the screen, she came to the same conclusion I did: you have to touch somewhere above and to the right of the spot you actually want to hit. Maybe we got a defective sampler, but I'm seeing similar complaints online. I've dialed *288 for device reprogramming, tried the 5-minute battery reset, and diligently searched for some means of calibrating the screen. Alas, the problem continues without apparent solution.

This phone has many traits worthy of praise, but at the current price, I can't get past its flaws. If the Krave were $49.99 with a contract, I'd say go for it. That's the league this phone is in. At that price, I'd be raving about the excellent graphic quality of the screen. However, Verizon wants $179.99 with a two-year agreement. What Verizon customer would pass up the opportunity to own a BlackBerry Storm for just $20 more? This thing costs more than an LG Dare, which has a vastly superior touch screen and camera. Non-Verizon customers have a slew of great options in this range. As far as I'm concerned, this phone has been priced out of the market.

Verdict: Thumbs down.]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/blog/mini-review-motorola-krave-zn4-verizon.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-krave-zn4&utm_campaign=PhoneDog11/16/2008 10:00:00 PMhttp://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-videos/motorola-krave-zn4-verizon-unboxing-and-review.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-krave-zn4&utm_campaign=PhoneDog10/22/2008 2:35:00 PMVerizon.  No surprise here, as this device was leaked far and wide.  But it still sounds pretty interesting - it's a flip phone with a touchscreen and an "interactive flip."  Apparently the clear plastic flip cover has touch controls so you can access frequently used functions without opening the device up.

Krave looks like it's going to pack some punch in addition to that unique clear flip: VCAST TV, Visual Voicemail, 3.5mm headphone jack, virtual landscape QWERTY with haptic feedback, HTML browser, mobile Email and IM, and support for streaming Web videos (that's what they said) ... I'm actually kind of excited for this one. HELLOMOTO! 

Some specs for you to chew on:

• 500 hours of standby time, 250 minutes talk time
• 2.8" display @ 240 x 400 resolution
• Removable battery
• Internal TV antenna
• 2MP camera with digital zoom (fixed focus)
• 130 MB onboard
• microSD memory slot
• EV-DO data
• Video: Capture/Playback/Streaming, H.263, H.264, MPEG4, WMV v9
• Stereo Bluetooth
  

Looks like Verizon Wireless is aiming to change all of that with the introduction of the Krave ZN4 sometime between now and the end of 2008.  The Ming-styled ZN4 has been spotted by PhoneArena in a VZW ad that shows a launch price of $149.99 after rebate with a two-year contract.

Your buck-fitty will get you a unique-looking device with a clear plastic flip cover and touchscreen underneath, and all sorts of features.  There's a 2MP camera, VCast Mobile TV, HTML browser, VVast Music with Rhapsody, VZ Navigator, and EV-DO Rev A data speeds to power all of those services.

So stop complaining about this "lack" of Verizon devices, everybody!  There's all kinds of stuff coming from Big Red this holiday season, don't you worry ;-)
